The Lord is my light and my salvation. I fear no one.
The Lord protects my life. I am afraid of no one.
When evil men attack me to devour my flesh, when my adversaries and enemies attack me, they stumble and fall.
Even when an army is deployed against me, I do not fear.
Even when war is imminent, I remain confident.
I have asked the Lord for one thing—this is what I desire!
I want to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life, so I can gaze at the splendor of the Lord and contemplate in his temple.
He will surely give me shelter in the day of danger; he will hide me in his home.
He will place me on an inaccessible rocky summit.
Psalm 27:1-5
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

Great blessings belong to those who suffer persecution for doing what is right.
God’s kingdom belongs to them.

Matthew 5:11-12
Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
his understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might, he increases strength.
Isaiah 40:28-29
And let the peace (shalom) of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
